Poor Baby

Two days after your birthday Daddy went in to get you dressed and you were covered in spots!!! I knew immediately that it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. It had been going around terribly in Abilene and is highly contagious. Poor baby, it looked terrible and we knew you were miserable!






This picture breaks my heart:


We called your doctor to see what to do. He informed us that there was no reason to bring you in. By listening to your symptoms he knew that's what it was. He said there was no medicine for it and that we'd just have to let it run it's course. So Tuesday-Friday Daddy and I had to take turns staying home with you. We were lucky that Grammy was able to take a day of and help too.

We were so grateful that it didn't affect your sleep at night, but it made for some long days. You didn't want to eat and you were super fussy. I wanted to just stay home for the whole week with you myself, but it's not that easy when you're a teacher. So we all took turns and it worked out. You were able to go back to Mrs. Kay's the next Monday. I was happy to let you nap in my arms for a few days though, I've missed that!!
